In The Cellar...

I appreciate all of you that send us notes from time to time with comments about the pictures on our site. We have really enjoyed taking our cameras with us everywhere we go... And we never know when we will pass something and see it in a new light for the first time. Most of the pictures are taken and turn out just out of sheer luck... and you should see all the pictures that don't turn out! I could not tell you how many of the pictures posted here have been taken out of the window of our house or from the side of a road. Take this picture for an example. We have passed by this little thatched shed/cellar a number of times... and I have always wanted to stop and take a picture/examine what all was in it. It sits directly on the road, and you usually only get a glimpse inside at all it's old treasures as you quickly pass by. Well... This one particular rainy day we drove by it, and I told Dee to lean out of the car window and to take a picture. I slowed the car down to a crawl so that she could take a clear picture... and as the car crept up for us to peek inside - there was a man standing right inside the door (hiding from the rain, I think). We all jumped... and we were soon quickly on our way without a picture. We returned later for the picture below, but I wish now that we did have a picture of the very surprised man in the cellar.
